UK Security Companies and the EU Market The UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement provides coverage for services roughly equivalent to other EU free trade agreements such as the EU-Canada and EU-Japan agreements. EU Member States and the UK will not be able to discriminate against service suppliers and will have to treat them as if they were from their home jurisdiction. A local presence is not required to provide most services. The UK-EU TCA allows visa free travel, including for work, for up to 90 days in any 180- day period. The agreement contains a list of permitted activities which can be undertaken without requiring a visa or economic needs test. New EU Certificates of Origin required for movements of physical goods.
